Police seek pair

Chambersburg police seek to identify a couple wanted in a retail theft case and are asking for the public’s help.

The pair used the Coronavirus mask order to create a diversion to cover up a retail theft at a local business today, police said.

Chambersburg police were sent to the Kid to Kid thrift store at 428 Gateway Ave. Tuesday to investigate a retail theft report.

A woman had entered the store with the man who was not wearing a mask, police said. Employees asked the man to put a mask on. He refused.

When he was told to leave, the man began to act as though he was coughing on items.

While he created a disturbance, the woman left the store by another door instead of the front entrance/exit with a small child walking behind her carrying two beanie babies that were not paid for.

Police are now seeking the couple for questioning.
